25 de mayo dia mundial de la Tiroides. Aproximadamente el 50% de las personas que viven con problemas de la Tiroides NO están diagnosticados , debido a que los síntomas de los padecimientos se confunden fácilmente con otras enfermedades.

Hoy realizamos ablación por radiofrecuencia a nódulo tiroideo derecho a paciente originaria de Tuxtla Gutiérrez, visitando nuestra clínica de endocrinologia intervencionista la más avanzada del estado de Hidalgo.

Feliz día de las madres. Una felicitación especial a quienes son pacientes de nuestra unidad.

We recommend ethanol ablation (EA) rather than OK-432 (Picibanil) for treating thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) according to the results of recent meta-analysis of... 7 studies. Moreover pooled success rate of repeat EA is 47% (95% CI, 2471%) for treating recurrent TGDC after EA. The chemical ablation (EA and OK-432) procedures were safe, with a pooled major complication rate of 0.9% (95% CI, 0.15.8%). I posted the long-term success of TGDC (1st, May 2021) and I would like to recommend that EA can be first line treatment modality for TGDC rather than surgery (Sistrunk operation or OK-432). Abstract Objectives To review the effectiveness and safety of chemical ablation using ethanol or OK-432 for the treatment of TGDCs (thyroglossal duct cysts). Methods MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched up to May 29, 2020, to identify studies reporting the safety and efficacy of chemical ablation using ethanol or OK-432 for the treatment of TGDCs. The search query consisted of synonyms of thyroglossal duct cysts and ethanol or OK-432 ablation. The pooled success and complication rates were calculated using the inverse variance method to calculate weights, and pooled proportions were determined using the DerSimonian-Laird randomeffects method. Results Seven original articles including a total of 129 patients were included. The efficacy of chemical ablation was acceptable, with a pooled success rate of 70%(95%CI, 4786%). The pooled success rate of ethanol ablation was superior to that of OK-432 ablation, although with equivocal statistical significance (84% vs. 51%, p = 0.055). Repeat ethanol ablation achieved a pooled success rate of 47% (95% CI, 2471%). The chemical ablation procedures were safe, with a pooled major complication rate of 0.9% (95% CI, 0.15.8%). Conclusions Chemical ablation using ethanol or OK-432 for the treatment of TGDCs had acceptable success and low complication rates, and repeat treatment after initial failure was also feasible. In addition, it is an inexpensive and simple procedure and could therefore be considered a first-line treatment for TGDCs. Key Points The efficacy of chemical ablation using ethanol or OK-432 was acceptable, with a pooled success rate of 70% (95% CI, 47 86%). The pooled success rate of ethanol ablation was superior to that of OK-432 ablation, although with equivocal statistical significance (84% vs. 51%, p = 0.055). Repeat ethanol ablation was also feasible, with a pooled success rate of 47% (95% CI, 2471%). The chemical ablation procedures were safe, with a pooled major complication rate of 0.9% (95% CI, 0.15.8%). See more
